That looks like a college sport to us. That's one level above table tennis and badminton, which we view as basement and BBQ backyard games respectively. I think the Americans would win a medal at handball if they cared about it whatsoever.

As an equestrian I can say yes, definitely. Although I don't know if it's the same for the other parts, but I guess so. The showjumping portion has been subject to many debates in the horse riding world as the rules of the modern pentathlon completely disregard the horses wellbeing, which should always be the top priority. Furthermore pentathletes apparently start very late with their horseriding practice, which shows in their lackluster horseriding skills overall. Many equestrians consider even the performances shown in Olympic events to be a disgrace to the horseriding world, it's that bad. Though pentathletes are no doubt good athletes and I don't doubt their abilities in the other 4 disciplines, they are no equestrians, not by a long shot. So yeah, if you're watching the modern pentathlon, please remember that it is in no way representative of showjumpers or any other equestrian sport.
